Something like "He didn't know how he got there..." and highlight it.

Then, I mentally have a chat with my characters. "All right, Richard. How DID you get to this place? What happened on the way there? And why is it important?" Nine times out of 10, I eventually get an answer. Then, I go back to that highlighted section and fill it in.(less)

New Cover!

Paint by Murders has a cover!

I'm so excited to share this cover reveal! My designer, Troy Cooper, has done an amazing job taking all the details I gave him, and feeding them into a visual representation of this book.

AKA: It's stunning. I love it.

But... what do you think?
